Welcome to Part 2 of Heal Your Work Wounds Series!

Theme:

  1. Emotional manipulation in the workplace

  2. Reclaiming agency at work

Are You in a Situationship with Your Job?

We have names for the men who waste our time.
The ones who say just enough to keep us around, but never enough to commit.

And when you give too much to a fuckboy, you already know how that ends:
💔 Heartbreak
🧠 Exhaustion
😵‍💫 Betrayal

But what if your job is doing the same thing?

Because some of us are in full-blown situationships with our work.
You’re anticipating your job’s every need, going above and beyond, giving it your best
But what are you getting back?

A pizza party.
A vague promise of a raise.
A “you’re so valuable to the team” after covering for your boss’s mistake.

That’s not a career. That’s a corporate fuckboy.

What is a “Work Situationship”?

(And how to get out of one below)
